Rock Werchter 2018

[McCallion]

Snow Patrol, Eels, Fleet Foxes, all good festival bands. Marshmello will be Klub C headliner you think?

[ParanoidTourist]

Decent names. Eels is even great! Don't know who Marshmello is. Are they good?

[Gossard]

Snow Patrol subbed in 2012, you guys think they'll do that again? 

[AAlex]

Marshmello Thursday 

Snow Patrol Friday 

Fleet Foxes/Khalid Saturday 

Eels Sunday

Not really. Mainstream EDM, think Chainsmokers last year

No way there as big this time around. That being said, Mad Cool has them up pretty high on their poster so we shall see

No way, Jack White is much bigger than them currently... Check out Mad Cool's bill

[Tremousse]

Ahah high five @McCallion

[Orens]

No David Byrne confirmation from the festival. They are probably saving him as the big act for another Friday announcement.

Haha! Great minds!

I find that the design of RW's website is awful. It makes me want to see an ophtalmologist.

[neacaisa]

so, it looks like werchter will start to look very much like mad cool with just a few extra stuff, which is very reasonable, but predictible.

Yeah, every year they add more random shapes and colours. Nearly have a fit everytime a look at their promos! haha!

[Tuggster]

So we still need Headliners/Co headliners for Friday and Sunday

 

[neacaisa]

Look up Jack Johnson's tour dates  I bet you Fleet Foxes play right before him in the Barn.

Man, I hope there aren't fans wearing pillowcases with that emoji drawn on them at the festival. Talk about nightmare fuel for the campgrounds.

[neacaisa]

never listened to any marshmello song until now, what an awful piece that one.

yeah, i guess fleet foxes can play earlier in the barn, why not? anyway, the order doesn't matter that much in the tents and sometimes the biggest names plays earlier. 

overall, this announcement is pretty much on par with the first bulk announcement last year, but i'd say the already known names were clearly more exciting last year. anyway, not many reasons to trade my mad cool tickets for now.

Updated the clashfinder with these new announcements!

Marshmello will obviously play against Gorillaz. Reckon Snow Patrol (regarding to their placements on the Mad Cool / NOS Alive posters) play 3th down on the Main. Fleet Foxes is obviously a Barn act, early evening second or thirth down to play I reckon. Khalid sold out his AB (3k) show in a suffy, I bet he'll get an evening spot in Klub C. And last but not least, I'd see Eels getting an evening spot in the Barn but not clashing with Nick Cave, so second down in the Barn.

Jack Johnson? (i know he's very likely to play, but hasn't been announced yet)
Oscar and the Wolf? ...and a headliner???

the oatw prediction is based on an interview he had where he said he will close the festival, but some of the guys here speculate it's about the werchter boutique rather than the main festival.

Nope, but I don't think RW are going to miss out on him, 6th in the UK and 8th in NL  

Oscar & The Wolf self confirmed himself in Dutch magazine back in December, though I'm still hoping it's not true and he was actually referring to Werchter Boutique but he explicitly said he'd close Werchter and bring out the biggest show yet, Festileaks wrote an article about it. (link)

Let's hope it's the Boutique one......

[Gossard]

He's confirmed at Werchter Boutique, it must have been that one he was referring to....
